Railroad Fasienger Men Express
Opinions on Robbery of Tour'
ists in Yellowstone Park.
WILL NOT INJURE BUSINESS 1 j
Omaha railroad men who represent
lines operating up to the gateways of
tli Yellowstone National park are of the
opinion that the robery of thirty-five
tourists In the park Friday by landlts
will tncrcsse the business rather than
cut it down during the remainder of the
season. Ssld General Passenger Agent
Wakeley of the Burlington:
"This robbery makes me feel ashamed
of ths bandit profession. It .:om-ince me
that the highwayman, of whom we have
formed uch an exalted opinion and who
tn the yellow covered novels has been
made a hero, hos now Joined the ranks
of the common foot pad.
More I.Ike Pikers.
"The men who robbed the stages Fri
day exhibited no bravery, or daring.
They simply held up and robbed unarmed
and helpless women. The act did not
show any more darltvf that It would to
rob a child of Its candy, out on some of
the streets f Omaha. People going Into
the park are net allowed to carry arms
for protection and I don't svppose that
the men and women on thee stages car
ried any weapons except pockvt knives
and hat pins
"Th robbery will not hurt the business.
Instead, X fancy that It wilt encourage It.
People are of an Inquisitive turn of mind
and they will flock to tho park now to
learn Just where ard how this holdup was
pulled off."
May Open 1'n.ele atn'a Errs.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Murray of the t'nlon Pacific said:
"I fancy that this robbery will be an
eye opener to the government. It ought
to result In Increasing th number of
guards and possibly the Issuance of an
order permitting tourists to carry at
least revolvers for self-protection.
"While the passengers of twelve stages
have been robbed, that does not mean
that robberies are to become frequent. I
venture to say that even If the
government does nothing to Increase the
police protection In the park, It may be
years before there will bo another holdup;
perhaps there will never be another.
"Seems to me this robbery Is about
the best advertisement the park ever
got. It will be heralded all over the
world and people will flock there Just to
see where It occurred and how It was
done."
Swimming Pool
Eor Spring Lak
i v Park is Proposed
Tlie ftecreation toa'rd yesterday after
noon approved the plans of Superintend
ent English, relating to Improvement of
the swimming pool In Spring Lake park.
It Is proposed to designate days for men
ind boys and other days for women and
girls; also, to Install shower baths for
use of bathers before entering the pool.
The proposition of establishing a pool
In Rivervlew park went over for a week,
as Mr. English wants to submit to the
board his general program of work here
before action Is taken on this pool. It
la estimated the pool will cost 17,600,
which Mr. English feels Is a deep cut
Into his budget for the balance of this
year.
An automobile will be bought for the
new superintendent of public recreation.
Police Find Child ,
Hidden Under Bed
Although the neighborhood about
Seventeenth and Leavenworth streets was
In a turmoil on her account, 2-year-old
Claire Decker, imprisoned by bedclothes
beneath a bed hi a flat at 1701 Leaven
worth, slept soundly through It all. Po
lice Officer L. q. Thrasher found her by
accident.
The little girl's father hid her there,
police aay, and he Is now being sought.
Sometime ago, Mrs. Kate Decker, 1509
North Seventeenth street, filed suit
against her husband, Harry, a machinist,
charging cruelty and nonsupport. Later
she filed complaint against him In police
court, charging malicious destruction of
her property. He was being sought by
police when he entered the Seventeenth
street home In his wife' absence and
took away his little daughter.
When Mrs. Decker returned, she called
the police. Officers O. P. Peterson and
Thrasher located Decker at the home of
his stepmother on Leavenworth street
and with the assistance of City Prosecutor
Fred Anheuser and several others, sur
rounded the place. Decker managed to
escape, however, and after much search
ing, the child was found hidden beneath
a bed, with a big pile of bed clothes con
cealing and nearly suffocating her.
The search attracted a big crowd, and
before the officers found the child, nearly
300 people had collected to watch the pro

FEATHER BOA GRAZE
"CENTERED" HERE
Dresher Brothers Still Making
New Feather Boas Out of
Old Discarded
Feathers.
Women Demand the Boas (And
Beaux, Too,) and Are
Eager to Follow
the Fashion.
Dresher Brothers, the Dry Clean
ers and Dyers with the $57,000 plant
at 2211-2213 Farnam St., are as
much responsible for the present
feather boa craze in Omaha as any
body.
You see it was this way; the mo
ment Dresners heard that feather
boas were quite the caper in the
east they thought to themselves that
tons of old feathers were laying
about Omaha homes; feathers that
might as well be made up Into new
feather boas as to meet with an In
glorious ending In the rag bag.
So Dreshers took some old feath
ers; cleaned them, dyed them, trim
med them, made them up into boas
and found that their own product
was even superior to the feather
boas of the shops.
Dresher immediately advertised to
let the well dresued ladles know of
their abilities in this direction and
the result is that the Dresher plume
and feather department bits been
working early and late to satisfy the
demand for feather boas, because
the prospective wearers knew that
feather boas made from old feathers
would cost vastly less than new
boas purchased at the store.
Let this be a tip to you if you have
some old feathers and rare for a
really becoming style. A feather boa
touches off a woman's throat very
charmingly.
Dreshers maintain a special Plume
and Feather Dept. and do all of the
required cleaning, curling and dye
ing. Phone Tyler 345 and ask for the
"Feather Lady " Or leave work at
Dresher The Tailors, 1(16 Farnam
St., or at the Dresher branch In the
Pomp-Han Room of the Brandeis
Stores.
